Words
Sometimes here…
On the fringes of the sane
Flashes
Hazy images
Insanity is a constant drip that smudges.

Words…
Even when reality is not in sequence
Fireflies in the dark…
Or the jabs of a bloodthirsty knife
In a dark alley in a foreign land.

Words…
Fresh as a warm loaf of bread
With butter waiting to melt in its lushness
Stale as rank breath
From a mouth full of ulcers

Words…
Always a measure
Boundaries outside of sight
An emotion imprisoned in sound

Words…
Refuting nature’s laws forever?

"Words…

Especially liked that last line.

We are here because we are passionate about 'words'! How appropriate that this poem, one of your first, shines a light on that.

Welcome to pip.
We are newbies together.
